She is booking some activities....a tour which includes a 5 five course dinner.....a visit to a windmill village...

Aside from Thanksgiving dinner...Nadine is planning a housewarming party for family and friends. That will be fun.

I plan to go to school with Nadine a couple of times and go with her to her afterschool Zumba class.(at her school)

The rest of the time I just want to hang out.

Sounds wonderful.

What is a windmill village?

Jerry D

Yes, she started today. They said they were glad to have her back.

It will be five weeks. Four weeks vacation plus one extra week that I can use as sick time or an extra week's vacation.

jediwands

That's great! Will you guys go out to lunch together sometimes during the week?

You have a wonderful vacation package!

Wisconsin (known for cheese) has something similar. It’s a Cheese Factory (multiple) in Wisconsin Dells. I love to hate Wisconsin teams (border battle) but their endless types of delicious cheese puts them on the map.

Sounds great! I’m sure you’ll have a blast as your taste buds will be singing.

Jerry D

Yes we will, probably on Fridays.

Yes, it's better than the average.

jediwands

Great.

It really is. That's wonderful!

How's work going today?

Jerry D

It's going okay. My boss has been in meetings so he's leaving me alone.

jediwands

Good news! LOL.

My niece has a playoff game tonight. It was penned in to be a home game. However, it has been raining for three days straight and the field (football field too) is soaked. They are trying to play the game tonight at a neutral field that has astro turf. Still, it's not fair because we lose out on home field advantage. It's also not a given tonight's game is even happening because the rain isn't stopping today right into tonight. The playoff schedule is set up so that's why it's important to get this game in. If they win, they play Thursday night. If they can't play tonight it's going to be a complicated mess.

Where in Florida are you going, Jerry? I think I missed that in the other thread.

everwoodfan52

Which is better..playing without home field advantage or not playing?

jediwands

Good question. If tonight doesn't happen, most likely they'll play back-to-back games, tomorrow night and Thursday night which might be worse than losing home field advantage.

ETA: They are the better team than their opponent. However, anything can happen in bad weather. What if they play tonight and the rain allows their less talented opponent to gain an advantage?

There's pros and cons for sure.

I think overall though neutral field tonight is better than back-to-back nights. However, every team is facing the weather and possible back-to-back nights as well.

It's too bad the rain has to be a factor during such an important time!

everwoodfan52

Agreed! That's such a shame.
